"We believed in Amanda Knox all along and have been closely following the case," a statement from KQMV read.

There has been no word as to whether Knox will accept the proposition.

Gogerty Marriott, a leading Seattle PR firm, has been hired to handle the bids for Amanda Knox’s exclusive interview, the Telegraph has reported.

ABC’s Diane Sawyer and Elizabeth Vargas, anchors for “World News” and “20/20,” respectively, are said to be the frontrunners in the interview “chase.”

"She has not signed up to anyone. Offers have come in but the family has been concentrating on the appeal,” a close family friend told the Telegraph.

Amanda Knox touched American soil for the first time in four years Tuesday, following her release from an Italian prison for the death of Meredith Kercher.

An appeals court acquitted the 24-year-old Monday of murdering her British roommate, who was killed during a drug-influenced sex game that went awry. A jury of six, along with two judges, overturned Knox’s 26-year jail sentence for the 2007 murder.
